“They just enjoyed playing football,” Unhassobiscay said. “It showed in the first half: kids were flying around and having fun. I thought the key for us was that they were loose. Fly around, have fun, play the game of football.”

The JV Burros put up two scores in the first half.

After the intermission, however, the JV Sultans threatened to keep things close. Neither team scored in the third quarter, with the JV Burros slowing down on offense.

Sultana scored its only touchdown late in the fourth quarter.

Now with the season complete, Unhassobiscay said that the new relaxed philosophy is something that he wants to embrace at the beginning of the next season.

After all, it worked for the JV Burros in this contest.

“Next year, I’m going to try to get the team to relax more and play the game more,” Unhassobiscay said. “Just react and have fun. I think that will be beneficial to them.”

“I think it’s great, it builds momentum for next year. Plus all these guys here will be coming up to help varsity, and that’s going to get them all pumped up, ‘Hey we can help.’ We’re coming off a win and coming up there, they’ll be fired up and ready to go.”
